The Image of Beatrix

Our daughter wanted to go to Paleis Het Loo, to see the the exhibition ‘The Image of Beatrix’ (the Queen of the Netherlands till April 30th 2013). 

Paleis Het Loo is a palace, built over three hundred years ago in the heart of the Netherlands, close to the town of Apeldoorn. The former royal residence has been open to the public since in 1984 after undergoing substantial restoration work.
The sumptuously furnished interiors give an impression of how the Dutch royal family lived here for three centuries.


We had such a wonderful day.

Assignment 3: Color Story Photo
 

This week I had some purple thoughts, the little fairy said as the spring breeze soundlessly went through her hair.

Purple? The wise old owl whispered and his voice faded away into the air.
The little fairy closed her eyes, a beam of sunshine made her eyelashes sparkle.
…Spring had come late this year, but now that it had arrived it blossomed…
The owl was quiet, waiting for the story to start.
.
… I flew over fields with the most beautiful purple flowers the fairy said…

I saw the sweetest little boy painting with more shades of purple than I ever have seen …
And on my feet I had magical purple shoes that sometimes turned in to sparkling yellow…
The little fairy opened her eyes and smiled as she looked at her old friend.

Purple, the owl mumbled hmmm…. love it.
